Greg's postal connections have again allowed us to eavesdrop on the behind the scenes goings on at Club Spurs. Greg's still dreaming of winning the title if not the Double, worth a fiver at 66/1 you

Welcome to this Celebratory Edition designed for you to cut out and keep. What a week. I'm almost speechless after Saturday's performance which is not the best condition in which to write a blog. But it's never stopped me before.

'You can't always get what you want.But if you try sometimes.. you get what you need.' The JimmyG2 Column  Harry has sought advice from Mick Jagger to soothe the ruffled feathers of Spurs fans pining for 'Marquee' signings.

 Luka says that's one for definite Harry. We like a theme over here at The Musings as you may have noticed. And while most of you are still surfing on cloud nine after Wednesday let me lay on you something which has stood the test of time: 'Don't count your chickens before they hatch'. Or to put it another way: don't cackle if you haven't laid. Like you I'm euphoric after winning our catch-up

Greg has been to the zoo and is mightily impressed with the larger beasts. You might say we are one ourselves these days.

Not quite but we're getting there. The JimmyG2 Column  Apparently I was the only one that saw the huge Fyffes banana blimp that had been  moored over WHL since the third round draw was made. But it was safely towed away and deflated without too much difficulty. I can't believe that I was the only one that saw the 100ft. curved yellow monster. Must be something I ate.

Have we been Good? We've been bloody brilliant! The JimmyG2 Column  Just another routine game at White Hart Lane. 'Beatable' opponents with no more ambition than not to get beaten themselves failed in their mission and we duly scooped the 3 points. We kept a clean sheet and dominated possession, shots and corners. We came under little pressure except when self inflicted injuries took us

    That Tottenham, can they do it? Contenders? Say no more.  The JimmyG2 Column. It's getting deucedly difficult to write about Spurs these days. We've had it easy for years: missed opportunities; failures to close games out; last ditch losses; individual poor performances; lack of winning mentality; Jenas. All gone, to be replaced by competence, flair, pace and excellence in every corner of

Greg's found an offer we definately can refuse from people who should know better. He's off to the Harrod's sale to see if there are any post Xmas bargains. He might bump into Harry and Daniel looking at the Real Madrid cast-offs section where we found Van der Vaart last year. Everone around us was full of Xmas largesse yesterday, chucking points in all directions. Let's hope that we remember

Not quite our immaculate selves against Sunderland.The JimmyG2 Column Nobody could accuse Harry of being a dedicated follower of fashion. No rip-arsed jeans for Mr. Redknapp. On Sunday though he was forced to have a closer inspection of the wardrobe. He decided to go with both belt and braces in midfield and his favourite 'Ledley' cashmere overcoat in case the weather at The Lane turned nasty.

Some Pub lunch!No idea who the guy in the middle is,but the one on the far right is Greg Meyer. Greg tucks in at  A  Kent Pub with a fork in one hand and a lap-top in the other to celebrate both the anniversary of the birth of General George Custer who died at the Battle of the Little Bighorn as well as yet another famous Spurs victory over Bolton at White Hart Lane. This marked the high water

Actually Adebayor is bigger than everybody. Greg  focuses on important matters here. Not quite what Thierry Henri had in mind when he famously remarked that 'size matters'. His slogan for tomorrow is, 'Kevin Davies: can we fix him? Yes we can!'  We are all  determined to put Wednesday behind us and let's hope the club does too.

 Relax. We can still qualify The JimmyG2 Column PAOK acting on Danny Blanchflower's advice equalised almost before we took the pitch. Then like 'New York; New York' they liked it so much they did it again. 2-0 down in 12 minutes through slack defending and the future looked bleak. As Danny had once suggested, 'Get your retaliation in first' But that is at least the 4th time we've been 2-0

 Specsavers referee of the day. Now in the Kent Pub 'Hall of Fame' Greg is in lazy Sunday afternoon mode, relishing a Saturday afternoon victory, and the fact that every single one of our top seven rivals, except Chelsea, dropped two points.

Exactly  a month to go until you know 'Ho'.  Greg is in receipt of  another missive from Luka. It's not 'what you know' as they say. He brings us up to date on things Chelsea who have hit a little stormy weather which may or may not turn into a tsunami but we live in hope.

 Any bets on this re-union at White Hart Lane? Greg appears as 'deep throat' Meyer, this time, going underground for the inside story of the comings and goings in the courts and  in the boardroom: of the wheeler dealings above even Harry's head. He bestrides the whole of Europe and ranges from South Korea to Turkey, from the attractions of birthday girl Bo Derrick, to the Tottenham High Rd.

It was more Dunkirk than the charge of the Light Brigade but the score will remain in the record books when the performance is long forgotten, fortunately. The Spanish performance was one that Spurs fans will identify with: dominate the play and lose to a set

Under the spotlight. Sebastien in happier days. .  The Greg Meyer column. Greg's read the entrails, studied the runes and examined the charts and has come to the conclusion that we might just win on Sunday. He's not impressed with our Russian expedition but then why would he be. His forensic analysis pinpoints Sebastien Bassong as the cause of our downfall and nobody at Spurs Musings is going

 Straight on at the traffic lights in Moscow Central. Well the boys finally ran out of road, sank without trace and hit the buffers in the Europa. Actually that's a metaphor too far because it wasn't quite a train wreck although without Cudocini's performance it might, from a distance, have looked like one.

And so once more gentle readers we come to the age old dilemma: would we rather outplay the opposition as we did frequently last season and yet fail to take our chances and draw or even lose the game? Or would you rather we played poorly and won? We are unbeaten in ten in all games and won 5 of the last six in the Premiership. It's like asking City

The Greg Meyer Column Modric and Sandro: together, united can never be defeated It doesn't take much to cheer them up at a Kent Pub. Modric appearing in the 73rd minute of a Europa tie is enough to get the Appreciation Society on its feet. Anyway we're all agreed that it's three points for the taking tomorrow. No disrespect intended but, even away, this is one of the games we should win.

Welcome to Aeroflot Mr.Pavlyuchenko. Just the single ticket? Six English players took the field for Spurs last night with an average age of 22.5 and an average height of 5ft. 8in. They saw off a spirited performance once again by more experienced opposition in the Europa cup to head their section on the verge of qualification for the next stage. The future's bright. We won a game we might

 Which number did he say Gareth? A disappointing, somewhat staccato, not to say atonal performance at Newcastle where some members barely got tuned up. In the first movement the high spot was a solo, awarded by the conductor after some hesitation, to Adebayor. Rafael Van Der Vaart, who knows the score well took it(edit) on with some distinction.

More ground clearance for redevelopment in Tottenham Plenty of exciting news on the Tottenham front this week. Unfortunately none of it about the football or the football club. On the up side that means that Luka is still with us: on the down side that we haven't signed a new striker or sold any of the many not entirely indispensable.

The name on most lips most often and least wanted there has of course been a certain Croatian midfielder. The name most want is one of those “three fantastic signings” referred to by the manager.

Might as well make a virtue of necessity 'Tottenham are not a selling club'.'Oh yes we are '.'Oh no we're not' 'Modric is not for sale at any price'.'Oh yes he is' .'Oh no he's not'. Bold statements and I wish that they were true.Which bit of 'not for sale' do I not understand?Well 'not' for a start.

The good news is that there isn't any bad news  We started the window in the belief that 'no news is good news' but now that the Modric and Harry sagas have stalled we are beginning to change our attitude. The bad news though is that there is no actual good news. All our best players are still with us; but so are all our not so best players too. On the premise that bad news travels faster then

Greg down in Kent looks out from his bunker to survey the scene. There is plenty going on out on the course, but nothing as yet in the court. Harry hasn't travelled but Modric has. Speculation?

We don't agree on everything but Greg and I, and all the regulars at a Kent Pub, certainly do about super Luka. I make no apology for another column about our Croatian talisman.  Retaining his services is arguably as important as signing an accredited striker. As usual Greg approaches the subject in his own way and is entirely responsible for the 'Lucre' pun. ' Mod-rich' is courtesy of Topspurs'

Looks like the windows could do with a clean Get your panic in early before prices rise has always been my motto as a hardened Tottenham fan. But it does seem to me that this season is taking on a make or break aspect which makes the transfer window even more crucial than usual. Of course every season has the capacity to be a desperate plunge into the depths of a relegation fight or a rocket

And now from deepest Kent a man who needs no introduction, so I'm not going to give him one, the Founder and President of the Luka Modric and the Ledley King Preservation Societies, your very own,  Mr.Greg Meyer.Sunday22 May 2011.

It's only Rock and Roll, but I like it 'Come back Harry: all is forgiven'. So Harry is restored to Rock and Roll Hero after all.Well not quite, but two wins in twelve is better than one win in eleven in the Premiership. When it ends a fifteen year winless run at Anfield it is even more welcome.  According to Spurs Odyssey it was only the fifth time in a hundred years. It certainly felt like it

The three of us can reckonThat the Champions' League would beckon If we could only score some goals. How many straws can you clutch at the same time? And how many straws if successfully clutched will keep you afloat? There are plenty of straws in the wind, but some are more elusive than others. The first straw was that if we won all three of our last fixtures everything would magically come

Team huddle: crucial for team bonding or a pointless gesture? Was Ekotto right all along? So not such a successful season after all. There have been some exciting highlights; Arsenal at the Emirates; Bale against Milan; the Champions' League in general. But they do not make up for the general mediocrity of our play in the Premiership, the disappointing, not to say awful, showings against the

Greg,  me, and all of you probably are slowly recovering from the shock of the injustice and trauma of the Chelsea game. Greg casts a wider eye on the ups and downs of the football world and is in quietly reflective mood as the seasiders visit the lane. He has no delusions that shattering the Tangerine Dream is a necessary evil if we are to give ourselves a mathematical chance of tasting the

Wot no goal-line technology? Now we've really got someone to blame and hate.Forget Pav and JJ; Harry, Levy, Joe Lewis, Lammy, Karen Brady and Haringey Council. Forget them all and concentrate on Mr. M. Cairns, up from Somerset and distracted obviously by the heady atmosphere of the Royal Wedding weekend.I'd give you his e-mail address but I'm not sure I wouldn't be a party in the first part to

Due to circumstances entirely under our control The dream is over: long live the dream. Harry is perfectly correct; if we don't get into the Champions' League this season we can always try again next season. No arguing with that. But as a mission statement it is somewhat lacking in the inspirational department; a bit deficient in the excitement category.; wanting in the stimulation division. Now

Greg is back. He's not putting all his eggs in one basket, nor counting his rabbits before they're 'hutched'. He's breathless from the NLD on Wednesday but eerily relaxed before the West Brom clash on Saturday. He focuses on keepers, speedsters and managers. An original view from Kent available almost nowhere else. Accept no substitutes.  Excellent  Friday 2011.  The Easter Bunny Goes To The

That one day. 'Capacity crowd here at White Hart Lane, Harry. Can Tottenham overcome a 4 goal deficit from the first leg ?' 'Yes, for sure. We've got a triffic bunch of lads here and some top top players. We only know one way to play and we're gonna give it a go. It's what the fans want, considering where we were when I came; they haven't had any nights like this for years. ' And Jose how are

Just in time for the deadline our ace columnist returns with hope in his heart for tonight.

Who rattled his cage?  'What's that tall dreamy thing down there?' 'Peter Crouch O Zeus. But he's a footballer'. 'Yes he'll do. I'm bored' 'But you said you'd finished with footballers after the success of the episode with Wayne and the Sky camera'' 'Yes well, I gave golf a go with young Rory but he just shrugged off self destructing at the Masters.

Oh come on it can't be just a cock up,there must be more to it than that Of course we were unlucky to lose Lennon before the game even began; and Crouchy was very unfortunate to be sent off; Real Madrid kidded the ref. big time there; and they didn't really dominate because we gifted them three goals; and we held them to 1-0 until..... Nope, it's not working; I can't even convince myself with

Here we go, here we go, here we go.We're on our way to Wembley. And so our season hangs by a thread. Two threads actually and the second one is tonight in Spain. The first thread is stretched to breaking point by the draw with Wigan. Not the most attractive place for your hopes to be buried. We are lying lie flat on our backs on a narrow ledge and listening hopefully for the rescue helicopter.

A welcome once again, a little belatedly for which I apologise, to Mr. Greg Meyer, International Playboy, family man and Spurs supporter. April Fools and April showers, which might both apply to our performance at Wigan, are his appropriate theme and he, like me, and obviously the team, are all holding their breaths for Tuesday. Apparently we're playing somebody or other in some cup or whatever.

Oh no Harry, not Peter CrouchAnyone but Crouchy  I spent all last week in Madrid checking out the 'Irish Rover' for my fellow fans, No, don't thank me, it's a tough job but somebody's got to do it. In my spare time I investigated the ticket situation and posted on various sites how to go about getting one.. As far as I know nobody that wanted one has gone without although some seemed to have

The Irish Rover: Madrid For those who have been following 'Spurs Musings' loyally over the years, well months anyway, and wondering why, I have great news. For those going to Madrid for the Real Quarter Final game your patience with some of the nonsense, bias and misinformation that you have had to put up with is about to be rewarded. I bring you genuine offers of free beer. Now you're really

It's the real thingSo sue me As usual the frequent fliers politely ignore the safety briefing, 'Brace, brace'. As if. 'Life jackets are stowed' Yeh, yeh. 'Seats upright; tables folded, window blinds up' Whats the problem? We aren't going far, just an ordinary run of the mill domestic trip. What can possibly go wrong? Haven’t we just toured Europe making tricky descents through the fog to land

A  culinary round up by Greg from a Kent pub where confidence is high and growing. And why not after a second Milan side is shown the door. Mind you Inter may get up of the floor to challenge again in the next round. Are we bovvered?Pizzas, bacon sandwiches, bread and butter, ham, welsh rarebit, chianti and no doubt some bubbly all on the menu. I'll offer to go Dutch if it helps. Enough, already,

A star is born?  Well I've given it 48hrs following my warning about blogging when you're angry or in this case euphoric, and my considered opinion is still the same: we were 'sensational' as they say on MOTD. Not because we outplayed them but because we didn't succumb. This wasn't quite 'winning ugly' but more like 'drawing unattractively' They didn't let us play our game so we showed that we

All white on the night! Wolverhampton Well the neutrals are having a field day again: goalmouth action; inept defending; three classic strikes; penalties; disallowed goals; red card escapes; late equalisers; controversy, and amongst that lot somewhere some almost decent football and both teams lucky to get a point and unlucky not to win. So in No Man's Land there are brass bands and bunting

Greg's back in the groove trying to plot the twists and turns of the current season.  Firstly let  me make it clear, he's not all that ugly; well certainly not from a certain angle, in the half light anyway, I've seen him so trust me on this one.  Secondly Mine Host didn't get to holiday in Teneriffe by giving pints away, so don't hold your breath on that one.  Thirdly we tied with favourites

 If it wasn't so criminal it would be a crime Welcome to the latest edition of Crimewatch FA. We  have a number of interesting cases this week and we are starting with the most serious. Witnesses are sought for a shooting in which a student was wounded in the Cobham area by a 30 yr.old man with a powerful .22 air rifle.

The biggest Roller Coaster ride in the World.Not if you're a Spurs fan it's not. The last time the rumour mill turned its attention to Harry he was off to take over the England team though not before we had won the Champions' League and Premiership obviously.
